Troops from Unit 869, which belongs to the 91st Division of the Israel Defense Forces, continue to operate intensively in the southern region of Lebanon
The main objective of these operations is to block any attempt by the terrorist organization Hezbollah to rebuild its forces and regain operational capacity.
Over the past twelve months, soldiers from this unit have managed to eliminate approximately 60 Hezbollah terrorists.
In addition, they dismantled dozens of structures used by the group, including weapons depots, observation posts and other facilities important to their activities.
Unit 869’s command and observation centers also played a key role in precisely guiding ground artillery fire and airstrikes, directly contributing to hundreds of operations carried out in the same area of “”southern Lebanon.
To further strengthen its capabilities, the unit is undergoing important organizational and technological changes.
One of the new features is the creation, scheduled for March, of a new company composed exclusively of female combatants.
This initiative aims to increase operational readiness and expand the unit’s options for action in the field.
Unit 869’s actions are part of the Israel Defense Forces’ ongoing effort to prevent Hezbollah from restructuring and once again posing a threat to the country’s security.
